Smoked Salmon Scramble
This Smoked Salmon Scramble recipe hits the spot with slightly different take on lox & cream cheese, and adding eggs helps you stretch a small package of pricey smoked salmon to feed a whole family.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoon butter
- 8 large eggs
- Black pepper to taste
- 3-4 oz smoked salmon chopped
- 4-5 green onions chopped
- 3-4 oz cream cheese chopped into small cubes
- Additional green onion or chives for topping optional
Instructions
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat until completely melted, then swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Whisk eggs and pepper together very well, then pour eggs into the middle of the warm pan.
- Cook your eggs slowly over medium-low heat, using a spatula to push them gently (but often) from the edges to the center of the skillet, until they're almost set (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the chopped smoked salmon, green onions, and cream cheese and cook for another minute or until cream cheese begins to melt and eggs are at their desired consistency. (You want them to be cooked through, but still quite soft and moist.)
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional chopped green onion or chives for garnish if desired.
Notes
Even if you usually add salt to your scrambled eggs, you'll want to refrain here -- smoked salmon is quite salty in and of itself.
